"Editorial cartoons should be smart and substantive, provocative and informative. They should stir passions and deep emotions. Editorial cartoons should be the catalyst for thought, and frankly speaking, if you can make politicians think, that is an accomplishment in itself."

Well as you can see from this cartoon Gore is fat and ugly, so everything he says is nonsense, and we shouldn’t listen to him.
Also he spends money like a Republican, but doesn’t spend it on useful things like war, building walls along our borders, and giving tax breaks to the rich.

You’re right Ken….Gore is fat, ugly and everything he says IS nonsense and so we’re not listening.

LOL! A liberal so upset at how a big, fat, lying, hypocritical liberal politician is represented in a cartoon, and of course, that liberal never complains about it when Republican politicians are made to look fat and ugly in cartoons.
But being a liberal pretty much guarantees being a hypocrite.

“Follow the money” never fails. Gore produces a HUGE “carbon footprint”, equal by most counts to between 4600-4900 average folks, yet sounds a constant drumbeat about how we must all reduce our carbon footprint before it destroys the planet.
Meanwhile, his actions result in his friends and fellow Demoncrats inside government to constantly spend taxpayer dollars “”greening” things up, and to write laws requiring others to do the same.
Al Gore has huge financial interests in all the companies making the “green” garbage that government spends money on, and forces others to also spend mopney on.
VOILA! Everything Dick Cheney and George Bush were falsely accused of with “big oil” and Halliburton are factual, verifiable, stone-cold reality with Gore and his Demoncrat allies, yet they get treated like heroes and saints and visionaries by the media.
Sheople, anyway. Puppets! Let me pull y’all’s strings lefties, it’s so fun to hear you parrot the lies of your masters…

^Unfortunately, I agree with the first part of his post.
Remember how Gore traveled to Oslo to accept the Nobel prize for his efforts to raise awareness about global warming in his private jet?
And then botched up his evidences for global warming?
I’m not saying global warming isn’t fact – it is – I just think Mr. Gore is blowing it a wee bit out of proportion.

^ You don’t quietly yell FIRE.
Forget about the messenger, listen to the message.
And if not now,… When ? Or we’ll be saying, “Why didn’t someone say something when we could have done something about it.
DrCanuck said, 18 days ago
No, no; Gore has been losing weight. That means global warming is real.
Ken Warren said, 18 days ago
Like I said ignore the message, make fun of the messenger. Then you don’t have to admit there is a problem and you don’t have to do anything.
d_legendary1 said, 18 days ago
So when big oil got energy grants to look for more oil and continue to pollute its okay but when Gore gets grants to prove that global warming is real its called waste.
Talk about a drop in the bucket! I’m sure those nice Saudis are taking in more money than that one guy.

@ Ken - it is a problem but, as usual, it’s blown out of proportion and into fields more conducive to rabid partisanship. Have you noticed that so far no one has (yet) attacked the studies and the work these money go into?
No, instead we get people name-calling Gore and calling him a hypocrite for living in a big house and spending more than your average guy living in a four-room flat.

Let me see if I get this straight. Gore creates a climate (no pun intended) that makes you and me accept that global warming needs to be dealt with and then proposes solutions to deal with the problem and makes money doing so?
I get it, Gore is bad because he makes money doing what he told us he would do.
Wow, I never saw that coming! Good that we have Michael Ramirez to make us see how Gore fools us all..

“Have you noticed that so far no one has (yet) attacked the studies and the work these money go into?”
You can’t be serious?!?
Do a little searching.
I realize that with the PC press and the fact that he will not debate anyone with an opposing point of view, makes it a bit more difficult to get at the truth, but it is out there.
And when you will do your homework, you’ll discover that he is a fraud, and that ‘man-made global climate change’ is a HOAX!!!

Yeah, you never hear a liberal ridiculing the message of the sanctity of marriage because a particular conservative is a sinner. ;-)
When the conservative repents, the liberal says, “We accept his apology, the message retains its integrity.” ;-)
Last I heard, Mr. Gore makes no apologies for his carbon footprint.
bavolet said, 18 days ago
Problem is that Gore’s science is junk to begin with. Global warming? Maybe - so much out there being proved as being bad data who knows anymore. Even NASA can’t seem to sort it out. Manmade global warming? Please, if we only really had that much power over the earth and universe - we don’t and it’s a crock. If it was truly manmade it doesn’t explain the apparent warming of other planets - the only thing we share there is the sun - you know that big hot thing in the sky that also is hot and less hot depending on things like sun spots?
In the meantime, there’s nothing wrong with conservation and recycling - do it because it’s good stewardship of the earth and its resources. If you do it to single-handedly “save the planet” for Algore you’ll drive yourself nuts.
bavolet said, 18 days ago
Algore is making money as a snake oil salesman, selling indulgences (look up your history of the Middle Ages/Renaissance if you don’t remember that tidbit of history) under the name of carbon credits, and using American tax credits to start a car company over in Europe. And that’s okay with liberals and you’re more than willing to fork over your money to him.
Okay, so I have this bridge to sell…

Recycling is another interesting idea.
A few years ago, NY Times set out to show how much resources and energy could be saved by recycling.
To their horror, they discovered that recycling was actually extremely costly - sapping a lot more energy than needed for original production, and very harmful to the environment - use of chemical solvents and such. With energy costs having risen in the recent years, I suspect that those numbers would look bleaker still.
Does that mean that all recycling is bad? Of course not.
The point is that in making our major decisions / regulations, there ought to be some semblance of science, pragmatism and economic common sense employed, rather than ‘feelings’.

I have wondered about this. I look at these gas guzzling recycle trucks stopping at every house to empty a few plastic bottles out of heavy plastic recycle bins and then traveling all the way to wherever, and cannot believe it doesn’t actually expend more energy.
Do you have a link to any study?

^ So Charlie, you dont believe in trash pick up ? Do you throw your trash in the street ? Or does some big truck pick it up ? Or maybe your trash just disappears. It’s got to go somewhere.
Where I live they give us 2 trash cans, 2 trucks comes by, one is for garbage, the other is for recycle, …..Stupid
Next town over has 3 trash cans, one garbage, one recycle, and one for yard krap.
It saves LAND. When you fill up a land fill, you’ll have to go farther and farther out to dump.
But then again, my family moved out of the hills almost two Centuries ago. I know hillbilly recycling is to through your krap in the little stream out back next to the outhouse.
“a big truck has to come and pick it up” LOL,

I Donate shopping carts to the Veterans, It helps keep the streets clean and saves gas, plus it gives them extra money.
The cans I save, makes me about $400 Dollars a year which I spend on computer krap.
